Hi everyone. im going to make a mid priced gaming computer around christmas time this year. i'm waiting for the 32nm shrink of the i7, so in the mean time im going to make a pc with either a Q9550 or a E8400. im going to use this pc for gaming (falout 3, far cry 2, stalker CS, spore, crysis warhead) so im wondering it the extra cores will make a difference. i know that crysis took advatage of 4 cores but i havent heard anything on fallout or far cry2.
so far this is what i already have from a old pc---- 750w corsair psu, a 320 seagate HDD, a thermaltake armour case, and a zalman 9700 cpu fan.
i need a mobo, ram and videocard to go with this but i want to pick the cpu first.
any thoughts or suggestions are apreciated. thanks
